Yes it sucked, and ues we understand why things had to be cut, but in reality, 2 hours and 18 minutes isn't that long for a movie, and could have been extended. Lord of the Rings did it. Hell, Hamlet (the Kenneth Brannagh [sp?]) version was 4 hours long and I sat through the whole thing and that had to be one of the most boring movies I've ever watched. So really, when you think about it, extending the movie an extra 15 or 20 minutes wouldn't have killed anyone.
Overall I think most of us here really enjoyed the film, and are not complaining about the movie as a whole. I know I did some of the griping, but I would pay to see it again. It's very rare that a movie ever does the book justice, and I guess this is just one more example.
